Rust Included: 1966 Ford Galaxie 7 Litre

I have mixed feelings about this Ford. I really like the big Galaxies, they are good looking beasts and with 7 litres (428) of power, this one could be fun. What’s the problem then? Like usual, rust and this… more»

Jensen-Healey With A Continental Kit?

After featuring Jeremy’s nice Jensen-Healey, we received a link to this car from Barn Finds reader Mike F. It’s obviously going to be a big project, but the seller is only asking $800 here on craigslist. It’s located in… more»

Rusting Horse: 1966 Mustang Fastback

It’s no secret that people prefer the fastback Mustangs over their coupe body siblings. While I would be perfectly content with a coupe, I understand the appeal of the fastback, just look at how good looking they are! People… more»

Bridgehampton Blue: 1971 Chevy Corvette

It’s amazing how a car can look fairly rough on the surface but more solid underneath, or vice versa with a shiny topside and corrosion in the floors. This 1971 Corvette convertible here on eBay and located in Miami is an… more»

1967 Iso Grifo GL Barn Find!

Worth Saving? 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

For years, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer has confused me. Is it valuable? Is it not? I’ve seen them go for big dollars in restored condition and for relative peanuts as a project. The middle ground on these does not… more»

Baby Barn Find: 1987 Toyota MR2

It’s happening all around us: cars from later generations are slipping into barn find status! Personally, I find this exciting, especially as panic sets in that there will someday be no barn finds left to discover. This 1987 Toyota… more»

Skinny Dipper: 1969 Camaro Pace Car

We have featured a couple of Camaro Pace Car projects over the years, but this is the first one that looks like it may have gone for a dip in the lake! That may not actually be the case,… more»

Police Interceptor: 1967 Ford Custom Patrol Car

There’s just something cool about old cop cars! If the State Trooper clone from earlier wasn’t for you, then perhaps this Nebraska State Patrol car is more up your alley. It’s the real deal and has some very cool… more»

1967 Oldsmobile Toronado: Part Out Or Restore?

Here’s the parts car for the Toronado we featured the other day! It’s actually offered by the same seller and is also listed on eBay with a $200 starting bid and no reserve. It will be interesting to see… more»

228,638 One Owner Miles! 1953 Bel Air

I realize a lot of the time we try to feature low-mileage survivor finds, but I think high-mileage cars, especially when they are “one-owner,” deserve some mention as well. This 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air was driven by its original… more»

Burn Victim: 1987 Buick Grand National

Fire damage in any form gives me nightmares. Unlike traditional accident damage incurred via fender bender, fire tends to cast a wide arc when it comes to a damage path, and for collector vehicles, the road to recovery is… more»
